Recipe for Carob Bites

The carob spirulina bites at Earthfare are amazing. I want to make them at home.
Do you have a recipe?
If you haven't had them: They're basically hard cubes of chocolate (carob) with crispy rice and nuts inside.
Here's the lid with an ingredients list: image
Do you have a recipe so I can recreate them? What I want most is a recipe that comes close with respect to texture so I can carry them on a run/bike/hike without a crumbly/gooey/melty mess. They're about the stiffness/hardness of a rice crispy treat. My granola bars always end up crumbly or gooey; these are the happy middle in between.
Any similar recipes are appreciated. Thank you.

One Healthy Nut and Glutton for Life
I prefer the One Healthy Nut recipe because it seemed to hold together a little better. For both recipes, I reduced the amount of nuts by a third or more, which seemed to help with crumblyness.
Make sure to grind the nuts / mixins to a fine texture.
I also tried substituting half of the carob with an equivalent amount of baking chocolate (like a Baker's bar), and that worked well for both texture, firmness, and taste.
